Ever heard that? "Please keep same length as
English, please". Well, mmm... Maybe not... Put those words together with “display
real estate” and you are heading for localization trouble...

Just an image...

We now that all those cool UX designers are just trying to do their job and, once they do it, they will throw it over the fence and it will eventually "get translated". However, many companies have already learnt the hard way what happens if you do not plan these things in advance...

Translators are also trying to do their job. However, having to abbreviate, leave out articles and prepositions, and churn out SMS-style gibberish does not help.

Let's do everyone involved a favour and let's work together. At the end of the day we are all in the same team... Aren't we?
